Wedding material

Grossmith calls this little gem "perfectly matched for a contemporary royal love story" and names it Betrothal, after the engagement to be married. So it is pretty obvious what mood they are aiming for. Quite successfully, in fact.

Betrothal is joyfully announced by some citrus top notes, immediately followed by an elegant bouquet of rose and ylang stuffed with aldehydes. There's neroli on top and vetiver beneath to add fresher, slightly green accents. The transition from the lush floral bouquet to the softer woody-vanilla base is gorgeous.

Structure-wise this shares a few traits with classical Guerlains, but Grossmith managed to create a totally unique character. Sophisticated, elegant and festive. Perfect wedding material.
